NYSE American Eases Rules for Sending Orders Elsewhere
Published Date: 8/18/2025
Notice
Summary
NYSE American is updating its rules to let orders be sent to other markets even if those markets aren’t showing special price quotes. This change gives traders more options and control over where their orders go, starting right away. It mainly affects traders using NYSE American’s system and could speed up how orders get filled without extra costs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Optional Routing to Non‑Displayed Venues
If you are an ETP Holder or trader using NYSE American, eligible orders may be routed to Away Markets that are not displaying protected quotations unless the order includes an instruction to bypass such destinations. This optional routing is established by the proposed amendment to Rule 7.37E(b)(3).
Use of Broker‑Dealer Data Feeds for Routing
NYSE American will receive data feeds directly from broker‑dealers to route interest to Away Markets that are not displaying protected quotations, as added in proposed Rule 7.37E(d)(1). The change is intended to make the Exchange's rules about using such data feeds clearer and more transparent.
Routing Strategy Limit on Optional Routing
Orders that are designated with a routing strategy pursuant to Rule 7.37(b)(9) will not route to all available Away Markets because such strategies may provide for routing to specific destinations only. This means some strategy-specified orders will not use the new optional routing to non‑displaying Away Markets.

2026-17183, Regulation Crypto Assets
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") is proposing new rules to create a tailored offering regime for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets. The proposed offering regime is intended to facilitate capital formation and accommodate innovation within the crypto asset markets while, at the same time, ensuring that investors are adequately protected and provided with the information they need to make informed investment decisions. The proposed rules would be set forth in a new regulation titled "Regulation Crypto Assets" and would include two exemptions from the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. The first exemption would permit offerings of up to $5 million during a four-year period. The second exemption would permit offerings of up to $75 million during each 12-month period. Under both exemptions, issuers would be required to make certain principles-based narrative disclosures available to their investors. In addition, issuers under the second exemption would be required to provide financial statements and would be subject to ongoing reporting requirements. Issuers that rely on these exemptions would remain subject to the antifraud and antimanipulation provisions of the Federal securities laws. The proposed rules also would include a conditional safe harbor from the term "investment contract" in the definitions of "security" in the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If the conditions of that proposed safe harbor are satisfied, then a crypto asset would be deemed not to be subject to an investment contract for purposes of those definitions of "security."
